For starters,
1) BaT needs to explain the fine details of light curves
not merely gross averaged features.
a) High precision photometric studies demonstrate
"period noise" in Cepheid light curves. This
comprises both peak-to-peak variability in phase,
and peak-to-peak variability in amplitude. You have
"explained" period noise as evidence of interstellar
"twinkling". Explain why amplitude "twinkling" is not
seen for most stars.
b) Explain long term variability in Cepheids, "sudden"
changes between fundamental and overtone mode
oscillations, "sudden" -permanent- loss of Cepheid
variability in some stars.
2) BaT needs to explain the spectral data, not merely
amplitude data.
a) Explain periodic line broadening and narrowing in
Cepheid spectra.
b) Explain line splitting showing spectra of two
distinct stars in eclipsing binaries such as
Algol. Explain the relative phase of this periodic
line splitting, which peaks when the stars are
maximally separated as expected in traditional
theory.
3) BaT needs to explain the interferometric data.
a) Cepheid stars have been observed to swell and
shrink, size changes being correlated with
amplitude changes and changes in line broadening.
b) VLBI can track the motions of individual stars
in some binary systems. For example, synchrotron
emission from one of the components of the Algol
system can be tracked. The actual motions of this
star have been observed, and are consistent with
traditional theory.
4) Traditional theory of variable stars is backed up
by multiple interlocking observations using
multiple techniques, and results from all of these
techniques add up to form a coherent story of
variable star behavior. No unexpected anomalies
have been seen between results obtained from these
widely varying techniques.
5) BaT needs to be shown to be consistent with all
of the data, and not merely capable of reproducing
gross features of averaged light curves.
6) Don't forget gratings.
